Geetika Ganju has been missing from the party circuit for a while now. But the girl has a valid reason – her mother’s not been keeping too well.

Geetika’s mother underwent a knee-replacement surgery earlier this week. Says Geetika, “It was a major operation. You know how the world seems to stand still if anything happens to your parents. That is how the past few days have been. Though I must say my mother has been a very brave woman and has faced everything calmly,” said Geetika. Well, Geetika, we wish your mother a speedy recovery!

Geetika met former president APJ Abdul Kalam at an event in Dehradun and says that she was over the moon when she met him. “Normally, I never get overwhelmed. I work with film and sports personalities and politicians… but Dr Kalam is just too great. He is humble and has a pleasant personality. He’s someone who truly loves his country. For me, he is the number one role model for each and every Indian,” said a really excited Geetika.

Mid sems are over..and you all must be hoping that finally you would get some time to let your hair down on this holi (n yeah before i forget HAPPY HOLI to all!!))…But sorry to be a mood spoiler before you get anymore whimsical and get all occupied in the festival of colours and now a days of pakka colours, egg and mud and every bit of disgusting gruesome stuff that you can find that day to throw at your friends(bura na mano holi hai!!) let me do a reality check.

We all hoped deep down that this day will never come in our lives..we blocked out it’s thought from our minds as if it is some kind of an illusion..but no more can we fool ourselves cause it means marks..internal marks..So, it is again that time of year when we’ll be running helter skelter all over the place to get print outs, photo copies and googling all night away to finish off our projects(remember??) which are supposed to be sumbmitted by 15th march, but oye its sunday..and so we would get one extra day(as if that is gonna make any difference ) to copy paste..right??

So gear up people coz the nightmare is still far from getting being over. Mid semester was just the starting..cbsites have lot more reasons to get those sleepless nights….but take no tension..chill out..enjoy your HOLIday..and projects??..well voh to hume last minute complete krne ki adat hai ..otherwise we don’t get that adrenaline rush..and without that there is no fun..!!

Story behind the video:

The video took me 2 months to compile, I can’t forget to thank all those who helped me gather all the pictures & insights into the live’s of the CBS’ites I was a part of.

The video was originally published in June 2002 – right after the batch graduated and moved on to their new destinations.

CBS is still cherished as the most beautiful place we all have been thru – or I just made it look like a dream we all lived together

Enjoy!
